MELBOURNE — Volunteers from Angels of Hope Outreach Ministries combed areas around South Babcock Street, looking for a restaurateur from Indian River County who's been missing since March 16.

Kelly Long, who runs the Angels of Hope Outreach Ministries that serves the homeless in Brevard County and on the Treasure Coast, organized a search Friday for Susy Tomassi, 73, who has dementia. She and her husband live in St. Lucie County's Lakewood Park area.

"We just got a tip (Thursday) that she was seen in a car in Palm Bay two weeks ago," Long said.

That tip specified that a woman fitting Tomassi's description was at the Dollar General in the 4500 block of U.S. 1 and she was a passenger in a worn down black vehicle, Long said.

Patrick Tomassi said his wife had gone to the back porch of The Quilted Giraffe, 500 U.S. 1 in south Indian River County — the restaurant they own together — to read a book. Then she went to a nearby mall, as she had done many times before. That was the last time she was seen.
